HN REPORT
NARRATIVE: At 1430 hrs (29DEC09) JCC Tal Afar reports a homemade IED detonated on Palestine Road in Avghani (38SKF 691 410). No injuries or damage reported at this time
UPDATE: 29 1632 DEC 09 - JCC Tal Afar reported that when the IED blast was heard, Avghani IP went to and investigated the area. They found the blast to be in the middle of the road. There were no significant targets found in the area.
S2 Assessment: There have been 3 IED's in Avgani within the past 90 days. The IED that was emplaced infront of the Al Shuhada Mosque seemed to be the only one that had a set purpose. The IED was assessed to be targeting the people going to and from the Mosque. The IED that went off today in Avghani wasn't set in a particular place, and there wasn't a target as of right now that can be seen. The only pattern that can be assessed at this time is the close proximity of the 4 IED's including the one from today. They are all within a 500 ft circumference from each other. This can indicate a IED hot zone within the city, and should be noted whenever traveling through this part of Avgani.
EOD Assessment: NONE
BDA: None
